Playwrights' Studio

Rosanna Hall

Rosanna is a Glasgow-based, female playwright who has been
writing for around ten years. She attained a Masters degree in
Writing for Theatre and Performance from the University of
Edinburgh in 2012. Rosanna enjoys working in a variety of ways
including devising, collaboration, performance poetry and solo
structured playwriting projects.

Recently she has been working with a variety of youth and
community theatres including Toonspeak and Birds of Paradise's
youth group Bebop. Rosanna is also a cellist, playing with several
bands and enjoys using music, particularly when writing poetry.
Rosanna particularly likes making political work, geared towards
the sections of society to which theatre does not normally speak.
She has worked with long term unemployed youth, care leavers and
young offenders, helping to build confidence, share stories and
bridge gaps, allowing their stories to be contextualised and
heard.

Rosanna's solo projects often take a social dimension, and she
is very interested in how structure provides a puzzle for an
audience to decode, believing the story is how it is told as much
as what it is about. She enjoys making her audience work for their
meal, encouraging provocation through playfulness and
questioning.

Rosanna is a member of the BBC Writers Room and recipient of a
Playwright Studio New Playwrights Award.
